Hundreds of wildfires burning in Canada’s Northwest Territories have prompted emergency declarations and the evacuation of the capital city of Yellowknife by road and air.
Interesting academic question. Let’s assume, for the sake of the argument, that these specific fires were not.
It’s still an uncontroversial insight that events like these will occur more often, and become more severe, as a consequence of climate change.
So even if this particular event was not caused by climate change (or if a causal link cannot be shown beyond doubt), it still serves as a taste for things to come.
